Background

Jönköping

I was born in Jönköping nearly 30 years ago. Long before I started school my farther began teaching me math through card games. He also taught me about everything from how a sewage plant to how to cut down a tree works. I believe I owe a lot of my curiosity to him and he gave me a head start in life. I’ve always like learning new things, and through 20 years of schooling I’ve love each day.

I knew early in life that I wanted to become something big. I wanted to make the world a better place, and use my skills, knowledge and will to do Good. This ambition has not changed and I still believe that I can do many things to improve the world we all live in.

My plan for high school was done before I was 13 years old. I wanted to study science to get the best education in high school and the greatest opportunities for university studies. High school was fun and educational, but I was already planning my next adventures.

After high school I was tired of studying. I wanted to find inspiration to study again so I took a mundane job in parcel sorting at Schenker. The mundane job turned out to be fun and I put all my energy to work. The first year I worked more than 200h overtime and I quickly got promoted. I tried everything that the department had to offer and I was group leader for 10 people, much older than myself. After 1,5 years I took my next step. I moved to Berlin to improve my German.

Berlin

I had studied German 7 years in school, and I wanted to speak it fluently so I packed my bags and moved to Berlin. Berlin is a wonderful city and I studied at Akademie für Fremdsprache. I enjoyed studying again and my Germany rapidly improved. In Berlin I started building an international network. I still have many friends from that time. After I finished 6 months later, I had managed the toughest courses the school had to offer (step 6/6). I can’t say that I speak German fluently, but I have a great foundation to stand on and I firmly believe that I’d speak fluent German if I would live in Germany for another 6 months. My girlfriend at the time stayed in Sweden for her university studies. As she was offered a spot as exchange student in Melbourne Australia I left Berlin after 6 months and continued my journey to Australia.

Melbourne

Australia is another nice place to visit. We lived in Melbourne for 6 months. She was studying at Melbourne University and I was working on a golf course. It was exciting leaving everything with 2 bags to move “down under”. I learned many things about the Australian culture and I gain some important experience about their way of working. Today I also know that everything is possible. I can go wherever I want and I know that I’ll manage it. I went to Melbourne with neither job nor a place to stay, but we fixed everything in a few days. We travelled a lot, both in Australia and to New Zeeland. During our travels I wrote a dairy online and I discovered that I enjoy writing. This is something I’ve had great use of at the university.

Luleå

When we left Australia, my new target was the university. I wanted to study, the inspiration had come back and I knew what I wanted to do. A friend lived in Luleå, in the northernmost of Sweden and he recommended my to study there. I loved snow and real winter so the decision was easy to make. I aimed for diversity in my studies. My specialization is to understand everyone in the company and be able to take on different roles.There are people that are more skilled for a particular position than I am, but I’m very adaptable to change and can quickly switch from one area to another, which a highly specialized person has more difficulties to do.

My time in Luleå was my the best I’ve had so far. In the classrooms I could live out and new knowledge poured in through all my senses every day. I also made many friends, enjoyed the winter climate and worked in different projects for the university. Luleå University of Technology offered me the education I wanted and also provided a whole extra program to me on the side.

In 2013 my studies were finished. I graduated with the double degree I wanted. (This you can read more about on the Education page.) It was time to test my skills in the real world.

Welcome!

I'm Anders Bergman - a cheerful guy approaching his 30s. I have a lot going on right now, hence I go back and forth between Sweden and Poland. Meanwhile I study some search engine optimisation. Good knowledge I believe for future businesses. I look for inspirational people for fun discussions and to do business with.
